It's been a while since I've written last.....Christmas has come and gone...just like that!

And what a Christmas it was this year.

I actually got the flu.  I can't even remember the last time I was this sick...but I was sick as a dog.  I couldn't even keep my head off the pillow.  I felt so bad on Christmas Eve.  Thank goodness I had Leven.  He went to the store and got me medicine, soup, listened to me cough all night, blow my nose (I think I went through 5 rolls of toilet paper!, and yes, my nose is still raw!), he was my life saver. Taydem is just so understanding.  She just plays by herself  so well.  She let me rest.  Never bothered me.  She's the best little girl and mother could ever ask for. Seriously!

Chrismas morning thank goodness I felt much better and enjoyed watching Taydem open her gifts and rushing to see what Santa brought her. She loves her new big girl bike.  We had nasty rainy weather all Christmas Day so she rode her bike in the house ALL day! Then that night....the good Lord brought us a WHITE Christmas! Can you believe it. East Texas got snow.  Taydem was beside herself.  I took so many pictures with my camera.  I will have to get them uploaded. 

I think I'm most excited about what Leven bought me for Christmas this year. My plane ticket to New York City!!! I am finally going! And I'm going to see my friend Amanda! Danin and I are going in March and I can not wait! It will be a check off my Bucket List for sure!!

Chilly Temps

I didn't even want to leave the office today for lunch because it's cold outside! Maybe we will build us a fire tonight.....

Leven finally made it home yesterday after being gone several days on his first hunting trip.  He usually takes two hunting trips in December.  Me and the kids stay so busy that we usually don't even miss him!! Ok, we start missing him after day 3! Trever was in a basketball tournament the entire weekend and Taydem and I shopped and I had club volleyball practice.  So we tried to stay busy ourselves.  My company had a Christmas party one night and another night Taydem and I spent the night with my sister.  The weekend flew by.  Leven said he had a great time hanging out with the guys, but they didn't see any deer! So the hunting part of the trip, sucked!

Trever's basketball team is doing much better this season than they did last year.  He's getting more confindent at shooting! District starts in a few weeks.

Taydem has a double ear infection right now.  She woke up last Friday and told me her right ear hurt a little bit.  Whenever she says any ear hurts, I make an appointment.  Her ears are precious in every way and scares me to death.  She never hurts! The last infection she had was back in May and of course she had fluid behind both ears, not bad...thank goodness, but he went ahead and got her on medicine.  We have an appointment with her ENT on Wednesday to get things checked out!

I am loving my new club volleyball team.  My favorite so far.  These girls are working so hard and are super coachable.  They are eager and wanting to learn so bad.  These girls even ask questions! I love it.  And we have only had 3 practices.

It's that Time

The smells, the sights, the sounds, YES! , it's that time of year again. And I love it. I'm on top of my game this year. I've got most of my shopping complete and most of it wrapped and under the tree. "Philly", Taydem's Elf, is back and popping up in a different place every morning. This year is even better than last year. She loves to pretend!! So it's so much fun for us too. I finally bought myself a pre lite tree and its just beautiful! We have so much to be thankful for this past year. I love giving!
